   Devastating as the isolation of Kosovars is, this story shows how EU embassies continuously violate the Visa Code with Kosovar applicants. The reporting of Aulonë Kadriu w/ a contribution of my own shows the ethical & financial maze of the visa process. https://tinyurl.com/2p8vanc8
   Many thanks to Thomas Tombal & @aral for their input!

     Many EU countries have outsourced their visa services entirely to 3 private companies (!) many of which are unclear if not dubious about the harvesting of data of 600.000 Schengen visa applicants from Kosovo. But who cares about GDPR when it comes to non-EU barbarians?

     And while EU embassies and private visa companies shift the responsibility to one another, Kosovars continue to go through lengthy, expensive & degrading visa procedures, only to be rejected in the end.

     The lack of accountability and checks in outsourced visa centres turns them into spaces of senseless, banal and normalized violence.
